The 3,100m North Runway at Dublin Airport has provided a blueprint for aviation infrastructure delivery within budgetary and operational constraints, according to a key member of the scheme’s leadership.
Driven by airport operator DAA (formerly the Dublin Airport Authority) the Dublin Airport North Runway was delivered in August 2022 with a price tag of around €320M (£270M). For comparison, cost estimates for the proposals for a third runway at London Heathrow have been close to £50bn.
Addressing audience members at the recent New Civil Engineer Airports conference, DAA head of capacity planning and capital development Simon Fagan shared insights on the factors entailed in delivering the scheme.
